Man Arrested After Using Social Media to Solicit Sex from Minors

Posted on by

West Springfield Police District – 21-year-old James Gregory of Falls Church is facing two felony charges of carnal knowledge and the use of a communication device to solicit a minor. Detectives from the Major Crimes Bureau’s Sex Crimes Squad began their investigation last month when a juvenile victim disclosed unlawful sexual contact with Gregory to their parents. Detectives believe Gregory used several social media accounts with false names while also misrepresenting his age to solicit sex from minors. He was arrested yesterday and taken to the Adult Detention Center where he was released on bond.
